Farmer’s Market recipes are at their best when they let fresh ingredients do the heavy lifting. I spent a week cooking only with what I could grab from the market—think produce that actually smells like something and herbs that haven’t been sitting in plastic for days. The goal was to keep things simple, fast when needed, and full of stuff that felt right for the season. No extra steps just for show, no overcomplicating dinner. These recipes are great whether you’re trying to use up what you brought home or just want something that tastes like it didn’t come from a box.
